What it is
----------

A minimalistic Content Mangement System which allows the gallery admin to
add / edit / delete pages. Typically this will be used by people who just want
to add a few pages like About, Contact etc to their installs of coppermine but
do not want full fledged CMS like Nuke.

It is also possible to include a category info page, which can be shown when a
user visits a specific category in your gallery.

It has FCKEditor WYSIWYG editor which works in IE and Mozilla, and respects the
admin rights from Coppermine.

INSTALL
-------

* Unpack the archive and upload the "minicms" directory structure to your Coppermine
  gallery's plugins folder.
* Coppermine should be 1.4.9 or above to work with CPG MiniCMS.
* Login as an admin, go to config, then "Manage Plugins"
* Find the MiniCMS entry in the available plugins and click install.
* You can adjust the placment on the main page by moving the token named "minicms"
  in the "Content of the Main Page" field in the config.

  already has content.
* When logged in as admin you will be shown an empty block with an edit button when
  the category has no content.

CREDITS
-------

The original miniCMS code (by that time not a plugin, but a mod for cpg1.3.x)
was written by Tarique Sani and Amit Badkas in 2004. The component eXtended miniCMS
was created by Michael Trojacher in 2004. Donnovan Bray converted the mod into
a plugin and added a lot of functionality. There have been various fixes and
contributions, among others from Thu Tu and Joe Carver. The FCKeditor component
comes from Frederico Caldeira Knabben. eenemeenemuu ported the plugin to
CPG 1.5.x. Thanks to all coders and all who contributed.
